be on inactive or reserve duty in such military or naval | ||||
service
(not including, however, in the case of offices, | ||||
positions and places of
employment in the police department, | ||||
persons who were convicted by
court-martial of disobedience of |
orders, where such disobedience consisted
in the refusal to | ||

police explorer or cadet program may be preferred, for a | ||
maximum of 2 points, for appointments to offices, positions, | ||
and places of employment in municipal police departments under | ||
